This systematic review aims to summarize the current knowledge on biological effects of
micro-and nanoplastics (MNPs) on human health based on mammalian systems. An …

Polymers shape human life but they also have been identified as pollutants in the oceans
due to their long lifetime and low degradability. Recently, various researchers have studied …

Due to its excellent physical and chemical properties and low price, plastic has replaced part
of the use of stone, wood and metal. The inability to degrade and improper handling have …

The ubiquitous prevalence of microplastics pollution has raised concerns about
microplastics' potential risks and impacts on the global environment. However, the potential …

Microplastics, whether originating directly from industrial and household products or from the
degradation of larger plastics, are currently of intense global concern. These particles are …

Plastic litters have become the predominant components of marine debris due to extensive
consumption plastics and mismanagement of plastic wastes. As part of the problem …

On account of environmental concerns, the fate and adverse effects of plastics have
attracted considerable interest in the past few years. Recent studies have indicated the …

Plastics are extensively used in our daily life. However, a significant amount of plastic waste
is discharged to the environment directly or via improper reuse or recycling. Degradation of …

The global plastics production has increased from 1.5 million tons in the 1950s to 335
million tons in 2016, with plastics discharged into virtually all components of the …

Nanoplastics are associated with several risks to the ecology and toxicity to humans.
Nanoplastics are synthetic polymers with dimensions ranging from 1 nm to 1 μm. They are …
